SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Mohamed Yousif and Maggie Otieno: Solace in Soil
DESCRIPTION:A duo exhibition for Emirati artist Mohamed Yousif and Kenyan sculptor Maggie Otieno that “celebrates the grounded connections between the practices of the two artists and the cross-cultural exchange between the Middle East and Africa”. Or as curator Shamma Al Mheiri puts it\, “Maggie Otieno and Dr Mohamed Yousif share leitmotifs of expressing generational sentiments and experiences through tangible expressions. Perhaps distinct in visual identities\, Otieno and Dr Yousif manifest connections deeper than the aesthetic portrayals in a state of continual solace …” The gallery is equally effusive: “This exhibition fosters a symbiotic exchange between the artists and their artistic practices\, intimately linked to their earthy foundations\, enabling their work to converse and showcase the interconnectedness between the regions”. \nMohamed Yousif is regarded as a pioneer of UAE sculpture and is one of the founders of the Emirates Fine Art Society. His 3D work is typically carefully crafted and delicate wooden sculptures\, many woven out of palm tree fronds handpicked in the UAE desert. He has featured in several exhibitions\, including The National Pavilion of the UAE at the 2015 and 2017 Venice Biennales. \nMaggie Otieno characteristically works with long abstract figures comprised of distressed railway sleepers\, originally from India and used to lay the ‘iron snake’ railway line in Kenya at the end of the 19th century – carrying within them stories of travellers\, labourers and communities. “Through her deft manipulation of form and texture\, she endeavours to imbue her sculptures with a sense of temporal continuity\, affording them a palpable resonance with the viewer’s own lived experiences”.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Rachid Koraïchi: An Ode to Intertwined Histories
DESCRIPTION:A solo exhibition with examples of many of the disciplines and media that made up Koraïchi’s practice\, all “showcasing his abiding fascination with the creation of deeply layered seams within the spiritual\, political and intellectual”.\nKoraïchi often speaks of belonging entirely to writing\, wanting to reveal the secrets of texts by great mystic poets and writers such as Rûmî\, Ibn Arabi\, Attar and Rabia Al Adawya. “Writing and drawing are not two different things'” he said in a recent interview. “They are essentially one and the same – they come\, so to speak\, from the same breath”. Koraïchi’s ‘alphabet of memory’ is anchored in the world of glyphs and cyphers\, where he nurses his fascination for texts function\, aesthetics and cultural significance. \nThe exhibition is centred on the two site-specific scultpures Les Prieurs and Les Priants; accompanying them will be 2D work ranging from 3m silk organza tapestries to meticulously detailed canvases. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Alfiz Sabirov: Ayu Bala
DESCRIPTION:A solo exhibition of 3D work by the Turkic artist\, sculptures distinguished by a variety of shapes and volumes\, unexpected combinations of materials and textures. Says the gallery: “Sabirov has created his own mythology\, elaborated in detail and embodied in a multitude of images. It is a world of gods and warriors\, oriental princesses and animal-totems born in the artist’s imagination … Animals that figure in the most ancient Turkic philosophy\, Tengriism\, are endowed with new magical properties and sometimes get new names”. \nTo 15 February.
